FOSS4GNA: The Road to 10 Million Downloads: Building the Open Source Community
1:30 to 2 PM, St. Louis, MO
Cesium empowers developers across industries to maximize the potential of their 3D data through an open and interoperable platform to support data compatibility and community collaboration. This year, CesiumJS, our open source JavaScript library for creating 3D globes, hit 10 million downloads. Building a healthy open source community has taken concerted effort over a decade, and we’ve built a sustainable business model around keeping CesiumJS open source and giving our developers the quality they’ve come to expect. Supporting the growth and development of the FOSS4G community within the 3D space is integral to Cesium’s success and continued roadmap.
Cesium engineering team continues to build out CesiumJS to improve its functionality and interoperability for the open source ecosystem. Investments Cesium has made into its open source platform in the last year include Bathymetric Data, a SketchFab Integration and making accessible 3D buildings in Japan. The impact of these investments expands the 3D ecosystem, increases access to data, and keeps our open source platform performant and accessible.
Beyond our engineering efforts, Cesium invests directly into the 3D geospatial community through its grants program and developer certification track. On our grants side we have continued to support 3D improvements to QGIS, supported YouthMappers kick off into 3D, 3D tile improvements in ThreeJS, and a WebODM/Cesium integration. We also have 90 Cesium Certified Developers and counting that have gone through our free developer certification program. Providing a means of validation and recognition for their hard work to support the 3D community. The impact of Cesium’s community investments helps lower the barrier to ecosystem entry, props up interoperability in the ecosystem, and champions open standards.

GTC: Enabling 3D Geospatial for the Industrial Metaverse with Cesium for Omniverse and 3D Tiles
11 to 11:25 AM PDT, San Jose, CA
Ingesting massive, global-scale, real-world geospatial data into virtual worlds is fundamental to building physically accurate industrial metaverse applications and digital twins. These digital twins are critical to simulating real-world environments in architecture, engineering, & construction, smart cities, defense, autonomous driving, robotics, climate science, and more. Geospatial data and virtual worlds provide context, spatial coherence and relationships, and real-time monitoring capabilities. We’ll share how we built Cesium for Omniverse, an open-source extension for NVIDIA Omniverse that enables an accurate WGS84 globe, an efficient 3D Tiles streaming engine for massive 3D geospatial data and level of detail selection, and integration with Cesium ion for easy and optimized access to 3D tiling pipelines and global data. Learn how Omniverse’s OpenUSD and Fabric, combined with 3D Tiles and glTF, enable high-fidelity streaming and rendering for global-scale digital twins using open standards. Part of GTC OpenUSD Day.
